(On Stravinsky‘s Le Sacre du Printemps)

„His pulse is so exact and his attention to detail so effective, that he made the orchestra sound like never before with this work. (…) His conception is strict, but it leaves a personal mark in the extended silences, full of mystery, in the contrast of tempi, as well as the wellbuilt crescendi, with a dynamic controlled at all times. (…) With a secure leadership, the orchestra played rigorous and inspired. (…) A mature and precise interpretation, a complete success.“
